TAMARA'S HACKER JAILED

THE policeman who headed Active Investigation Services - the crooked investigation company employed by Matthew Mellon to investigate the dealings of Jimmy Choo boss ** Tamara Mellon** during the couple's divorce in 2004 - has been jailed for 27 months. PC Jeremy Young ran the business, which used illegal practises such as hacking and bugging, while signed off from his Metropolitan Police duties for depression. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit misconduct in public office between June 2003 and March 2004. Mellon was cleared of any wrongdoing in June, following a trial where Tamara confessed to the court that he "needed a nanny" to get through life and would not have purposefully employed illegal measures to spy on her.
